Curriculum Planner review
A guided web tool for Australian schools planning, aligning and sharing curriculum.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Curriculum Planner is a cloud-based web tool for Australian schools that need structured curriculum planning across educators and year levels. It maps curriculum against Australian Curriculum content descriptions and achievement standards, supports unit and lesson planning, and provides whole-school sharing. The visual sequencing map helps organise term-long unit overviews, while the Year Planner presents a full-year curriculum view. Its audience is schools seeking a central planning workspace with built-in standards alignment and evidence documentation rather than a general-purpose teaching platform.
The product’s main strength is the combination of planning depth and guided alignment. Educators can collaborate on curriculum, generate unit plans and program summaries, and create standards-aligned overviews. AI-assisted planning is included with educational guardrails and is positioned to support, rather than replace, teacher judgment. Evidence and audit support adds a documentation layer for schools that need to show how curriculum planning connects to standards. The built-in standards library and lesson-level curriculum coverage make it suitable for schools that want planning and alignment in the same workflow.
Pricing is straightforward: the Curriculum Planner plan costs $299 USD per year with annual billing and is described as a whole-school subscription. A seven-day trial is available and requires no credit card, but there is no free plan. The product is available on the web, so schools looking for a browser-based planning environment can assess it quickly through the trial. Choose Curriculum Planner if Australian Curriculum alignment, shared planning, sequencing and audit support are central requirements. Schools needing broader governance capabilities or access beyond the web may prefer a product designed around those priorities.
